Join students from Sweden and the Netherlands in a three-day event on climate communication. During the event, we will explore the following question: "How can Biotopia, in its physical environment, educate, inspire, and engage its visitors to take meaningful steps towards combating climate change?"
Our experts will guide you and your fellow students through a structured and creative process to generate ideas on how the museum Biotopia in Uppsala can become a physical platform to inspire citizens to think globally and act locally on climate issues.
The workshop will take place over three days from 8-10 November. Before the workshop, three preparatory intro sessions will also be held online on 24 October, 1 November and 7 November. During the event from 8-10 November, you will work with students from Uppsala University and the University of Groningen to address the central question of the workshop. Participating students will have diverse academic backgrounds, allowing you to contribute your unique perspective.
The workshop will be held at the museum Biotopia in Uppsala and the Dutch Embassy in Stockholm. The event includes lunches and accommodation in Stockholm, and transportation will be provided for students from Campus Gotland.
This workshop is a great opportunity for those who wish to be international on their home turf, want to establish international connections, or practice working in an international environment. After participation, you will receive a participation certificate.
Please express your interest in participating by filling out the form by 14 October.
The number of slots is limited, and we encourage students from all levels and disciplines to apply.
